They told my wife that they didn't want her business, even though she was an Orange customer for 5 years, and wanted to up her contract!

Because of the way they treated my wife, I'm going to tell Orange to poke it next month when my contract is due!

I got a good deal from orange, told them I was going over to vodaphone because I wanted the N70, Vodaphone wanted £20 to upgrade, when I told them that, they said I could have mine for nothing
Cheers

O2 keep trying to sell me a handset upgrade as I've had my current handset since December 2004.

Every time, I just ask them what is the Upgrade path from the Nokia 9500 and then they go away.

It varies by customer...I am with Orange and they gave me a Sony 910i for free two months before the end of my contract on a Sony 900i. At the same time the gave Scary Scooby a free upgrade as well.

I fully expect a free Sony 990i when it comes out

It's too easy with O2 to get a better deal out of them.

I rang their customer retention helpline today, and claimed that I was all but ready to move to Orange, even told a little white lie about the tariff that they were offering, and they came back to me with a free phone, and a £25 monthly tariff for £15.

So, I've got a new phone coming tomorrow, and I'm now paying £5 less a month than I was with the previous discounted contract.
